It's hard to answer without knowing what area you are planning to focus on. Nottingham is highly rated as are Durham and Imperial who are not on your list.
Within travelling distance: Cambridge, Oxford, Queen Mary, Imperial (although not *everyone* who's been there rated it) ...? Someone in your friendship group is in a related dept at Kings at the moment of course, why don't you catch him/her next month and have a word (if s/he doesn't see this thread).
Otherwise: Manchester, York, Edinburgh, Birmingham , Leeds, ...it's not really a ticky-box question, it depends on your specific areas of interest, their reputation in those, what their research groups are doing, whether you are prepared to live away in the week (or move), whether you might want to do a PhD at the same institution, whether the costs are agreeable, whether the project set-up is right for you. "Where shall I study Maths?" is a bit too much of a vague question to work with!
Your best bet IMO is to go to some postgrad open days this autumn (esp departmental-specific ones), talk to departments (arrange meetings with the course leader of each of a short-list) and see which 'feels' right.
There are also lots of guides and alternative guides which can be useful (better taken together than in isolation) and lots of literature produced advertising and giving advice on choosing postgrad study.
A little bird told me Cambridge is better for sciences as a general rule. (Nb. they're not an alumnus of either). I don't know whether this includes Maths though. (And I don't know how true this is anyway).
Although a mate seemed to think a lot of Oxford for Maths when he was there doing a degree and DPhil, and since.
(I'll now stand back and watch war break out among the Oxbridge alumni. I'm little, I doubt many of the flying bread rolls will hit me). Personally, I think Oxbridge might be a good choice for you wellinghall.
